Chesterfield has a slow pace of life and easy access to Interstate 69
Chesterfield is a rural town of about 2,400 people between Anderson and Daleville. Many homebuyers are returning residents looking to plant roots in a family-friendly atmosphere with homes at a lower price point compared to nearby towns. “I love that it’s a small community and people feel safe,” says Debbie Dunham, the town's clerk-treasurer. “My husband grew up here, and I’ve lived here since 1996 and been in office since 2012. You know everybody,” she says with a laugh.

Midcentury homes at lower prices than Daleville
Chesterfield’s limited housing stock consists mainly of midcentury bungalows, cottages and ranch-style homes that rarely hit the market. The median price for a single-family home is $150,000, much lower than the median of about $250,000 in Daleville. Fixer-uppers usually run between $75,000 and $120,000, while updated homes range from $130,000 to $245,000, depending on size, age and condition. Chesterfield is surrounded by farmland, and new residential development has been slow. “I get a call at least twice a week asking if we have any homes for sale,” Dunham says.

Community programs at Millcreek Civic Center
Kayakers can access the White River from Wallbridge Acres Park, which also has a basketball court and ball fields. Millcreek Town Park has a large playground and a skate park, while Makepeace Park is home to the Chesterfield/Union Township Bark Park and a popular sledding hill. Chesterfield is about a mile from Mounds State Park, which is home to earthworks crafted by the prehistoric Adena-Hopewell people. The state park also features a small campground and hiking trails that wind through woodlands near the banks of the White River. Dunham says the town takes pride in the Millcreek Civic Center. “It was an old school that we bought in 1991,” she says. “It’s a rental facility now that we use for big events, and people rent it out for weddings and different things. We have free Zumba and karate classes. I do free quarterly luncheons for senior outreach, and we do bingo once a month. When I started, I was lucky to have a dozen people at bingo. Now I have about 70 to 75 people show up.”
